During a walk in Nature we do some practices that help you
cultivate natural awareness by revitalizing the senses and calming
the mind. These practices will bring back the mind to the body and
the present moment. From there we go on to establish ourselves in
the heart. In this "heartspace" the activity of mindfulness is
transcended, resulting in a more fluid state of harmonious
presence: our natural awareness. Ultimately, through
investigation, the universality of this awareness is
discovered.

During the second part of the day we will continue with our
investigations into the nature of that awareness or self by having
Satsang in Nature (Satsang is a Sanskrit word for “being in the
company of good people”). Satsang is where we, together,
contemplate questions in relation to self-enquiry and non-dualism
(Advaita) that help us discern the universality of awareness or
self.

We will try to organize this event on a regular basis and you
are welcome to attend many times as each and every event is
unique and has a cumulative effect. When the opportunity arises or
if requested, we will also organize this event at other locations.

Bring your own lunch!

Duration: Usually the event starts at 10.00 and ends at
16.00.Next date & location: September 9th, 2017, 10.00 - 16.00. Gathering at VaraVild.info@varavild.se for more

Practices of The Beauty Way Discovering the experiential
essence through intuitive consciousness, tracking and other Old
Way earth living skills.

On this course you will learn
many survival skills, or rather, non-complex living skills! You
will also get a sound foundation in the art of aboriginal
intuitive holistic tracking, taught in a unique way. More
importantly, you will gain experiential insight in how these
things are actually and naturally unified in our unfolding
existence. They combine and become one, transforming you from a
physical survivalist to a spiritual survivalist, from living a
life to being life itself.

For Old Way cultures the purpose of life is to achieve Balance,
in a continual cycle of gaining and retaining harmony with the
Circle of Life (environment). This is called Living The Beauty
Way. Living The Beauty Way requires re-establishing our connection
to the natural world, ourselves and each other. In The Beauty Way
you will 'become as a question' causing the tracker in you to
stir, and in the tracks you will discover the fullness of what you
are!

Humans are the best trackers on this planet and we do it all day
in all facets of our lives without being aware of it.
Unfortunately, because of all the mental noise and the cloak of
personhood, we are not very good at it anymore. Tracking and
awareness go hand in hand. Tracking is the foundation of all earth
living skills and their practice catalyzes our opening up to the
natural flow of unfolding existence.

Many of the practices inherently are pointers or catalysts for
discernment of the self. Tracking, awareness, meditation,
fire-making and indeed all aboriginal living skills are all
expressions of our true self in the form of naturally flowing
beingness. Through these expressions we are life rather than
simply living a life. Therefore they have always been imbued with
spiritual significance and experience. These practices will help
you open up your intuitive consciousness and revive your qualities
of perception without judgement of mutually arising and
interrelated opposites.

Ultimately my goal is for you to discover your true self and the
way of living life as it unfolds from your heart: the Beauty Way.
And, although I love to use the teachings of Nature to bring this
about, in the end, my intent is for you to discover that Nature is
everywhere, timeless and that it is what you truly are.

Duration: 7 days.Next date & location: 31st

Discovering Hidden Nature Re-establishing connection to self
and the Earth

For Old Way cultures the purpose of life is to achieve Balance,
in a continual cycle of gaining and retaining harmony with the
Circle of Life (environment). This is called Living The Beauty
Way. Living The Beauty Way requires re-establishing our connection
to the natural world, ourselves and each other. With this natural
awareness we can cultivate our personal power. Personal Power
leads to action rather than reaction; to gifting rather than
taking; to creation rather than destruction; to perceiving rather
than judging; to oneness rather than separation. In The Beauty Way
you will 'become as a question' causing the tracker in you to
stir, and in the tracks you will discover your Hidden Nature!

Voices of The Track Introduction to aboringinal tracking

Tracking is more than following sign on the ground. The Song of
The Track consists of a collection of "voices". If we really want
to learn what happened we also must learn to listen to all of them
as one. This involves revitalizing our sensory and intuitive
capabilities beyond what is the current norm. We also need to
become centered in the now and in the Heart. In short we need to
reconnect with our ancestral tracking self.

Nature Awareness A Course in Perceiving from the Heart

This is a seven day workshop aimed to help you (re-)awaken your
nature awareness and tracking skills. This course is about how to
better observe and experience nature and learning things about
yourself. Awareness is not a skill that needs to be acquired. We
all have the skill from birth. What you can learn though are
techniques and exercises to activate and train it. You will also
learn how Awareness is connected to tracking and Earth Living.

The overriding objective of this course is to help you
experience more of the natural world; not with the mind but with
the heart! This course is a natural first step on your discovery
of the Beauty Way.

Survival Tracker Professional Tracking

Delve deeper into the skills
and philosophy of the scout. On this course we will study and
practice the main pressure release groups and I will introduce you
to Energy or Spirit tracking so you will discover the vast
potential of intuitive tracking. During this course we will lay
the foundations for professional tracking applications such as
urban, tactical, SAR and team tracking. Above all,this course is
about dirt time! Lots and lots of scenarios and training, both man
tracking and animal tracking. During our outings we will of course
also address tracker specific survival techniques.

While this is a course to prepare for professional tracking
applications it is still based in the ways of the aboriginal
tracker. Awareness and living The Beauty Way are essential to
'become as a question', the core state of any tracker. I can
therefore recommend that you take part in the retreat and any of the above
workshops to prepare yourself to become a Survival Tracker.
